3 Minute French – Free taster course | Lessons for beginners

Bonjour! Hello and welcome to 3 Minute French 🙂

3 Minute French is a collection of online lessons that helps the complete beginner learn to speak French in simple, bite-sized chunks.

The lessons start by giving you a few words that you can use to build your sentences. For example, in lesson one, you’ll learn these words and phrases:

bon – good
c’est – it is
fantastique – fantastic
ici – here
très – very
ce n’est pas – it isn’t

With those words, you can build sentences like these:

It’s good.
It’s here.
It’s very good here.
It isn’t here.
It isn’t good; it’s fantastic!

(See if you can translate those five sentences above into French just by using those words and phrases.)

The lessons continuously build on what you’ve been learning, enabling you to express yourself fluently in French. As you move through the course, you’ll pick up new vocabulary, useful grammar points, and interesting ways to look at the structure of the French language that will give you plenty of “Aha!” moments.

The reason it’s called “3 Minute French” is that the lessons are broken down into very short, three-minute chunks. Everybody, no matter how busy you are, has time to fit in a single three-minute lesson once a day, and, by keeping learning to such short chunks, you’ll reap huge benefits. Short but consistent daily lessons are more effective than a longer lesson once or twice a week because you’ll find you maintain enthusiasm, develop a learning habit and you’ll also memorize everything much better.

If you’ve never learned French before, or if you have had a bad experience with learning this beautiful language, the 3 Minute French lessons will help you to succeed.

Merci 🙂
